Re-Create Workshops in January and February

Posted by Laurie Willhalm on Tuesday, January 7th, 2014

Art and recycling merge in the 2014 Oakland Re-Create Art Contest.

OPL has lots going on for children and families in the next couple of months. For Lunar New Year we are bringing both Chabot Space & Science's portable planetarium (Star Lab) and Goof Ball, a magician who will amaze us with his Eastern Magic. We are celebrating African American Heritage month by presenting Kirk Waller, storyteller extraordinaire. And we are happy once again to host workshops for Oakland's 2014 Re-Create art contest. We'll spend the next couple of weeks highlighting these special events.

First up is Oakland's 2014 Re-Create Art Contest (sponsored by the City of Oakland Pubic Works Agency and produced by Pro Arts). Oakland students (K-12) are invited to turn trash into artistic treasure in preparation for the City of Oakland's 2014 Re-Create Art Contest. These free workshops will be led by Pro Arts staff. All entries will be shown as part of the Re-Create Exhibition. Winners willl be announced at a public reception on Friday, February 28 from 6-8 PM at Pro Arts, 150 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza.
